I lyue as me lyst, I lepe out at large;
Of erthely thynge I haue no care nor charge;
I am presydent of prynces, I prycke them with pryde:[857]
What is he lyuynge that lyberte wolde lacke?
A thousande pounde with lyberte may holde no tacke; 2110
At lyberte a man may be bolde for to brake;
Welthe without lyberte gothe all to wrake.
But yet, syrs, hardely one thynge lerne of me:
I warne you beware of to moche lyberte,
For totum in toto is not worth an hawe;
